Description

Perfect for the impatient gardener, this relatively new award-winning all-male introduction is highly prized for its favourable first-year yielding and its consistently high volumes. It offers supple bright green, consistently sized spheres which have a sweet, nutty flavour and dark purple tips, which prove excellent additions to risottos and salads.

Additional Information - They need a sunny spot, shelter from strong winds and well-prepared soil that ideally has had lots of manure or compost added in. Good drainage is important too, so if your soil is heavy and wet, it would be advisable to grow them in a raised bed. Allow 30-45cm between each plant. Spread the roots out to form a star-shape and cover them with the remaining soil, leaving the tops of the crowns just visible. Asparagus should be allowed to establish into a strong plant before harvesting.
